[PyQt] Using PyQt within an application

[Darryl Wallace]

I'm assuming you're using a QDialog.

A)If it's a standard dialog (with OK/Cancel) then I usually use the 
accept()/reject() slots on the dialog.  These close the dialog and 
return the status of the dialog upon exit (accepted or rejected).

B) I would guess that you don't want the dialog to be modal.  this way 
you can still interact with the application that called it.  Use the 
method on the dialog, setModal(False) to turn off modality.
